    Civil engineers have great words and phrases to use in professional settings. I once read on a railroad bridge drawing from the mid 20th century "tack weld nuts after erection". Just yesterday I wrote an opinion in an email that ended with something along the lines of "when two nuts are placed on a shaft, the shaft is not torqued twice. Rather the portion of the shaft between the bolt head and one nut is torqued with the first application, and the portion of the shaft between the nuts is torqued with the second application."
    LOL

    Software/IT folks used to have great words and phrases until the wokies came into power.

    You can’t make jokes about big dongles or say “I’d fork his repo” without getting fired: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...-ddos-attacks/

    And that was over a decade ago. Now you can’t even use the word “whitelist” and “blacklist” anymore. “Master and slave drive” is also verboten, as is “master branch”.

    Dude, flaunting your weirs in public? Well, I guess that's par for the course in Vegas. How low Ute fans have stooped.

    What’s up, weirdos?! Been thinking about the old neighborhood recently after getting your requests from BYU Engineering and meeting up with another alum for lunch this afternoon. Now that our respective teams are officially back in the same sport conference again, it feels appropriate to pop in and see how everyone is doing. Still hanging out in Vegas. Still in the water biz. Still a big Utah fan until my oldest is miraculously accepted into BYU next year, then I might have to put my drum and feather on the sacrificial alter. Anyway, glad to see that the site is still as active as it is. I will try and not be such a stranger. Jake and I took a commemorative photo for proof.
    That guy is always suggesting Thunder Down Under for lunch, glad he found someone to go.

    Dr. Hotchkiss wants to come down and see my weirs this fall. But I told him only if he brings you along.

    My oldest is a senior this year and, I’m afraid, getting her into BYU would take a miracle at this point.

    Despite their woeful allegiances, I am pleased both Dwight and Wally have returned. A return by Hostile would also be welcomed.

    That's painfully obvious in this instance.



    Just kidding, I actually enjoy your questions, so maybe the unwashed masses are ruining your art's prestige????

    I taught that lesson last week in sunday school. When the prodigal son asked for his inheritance he was basically saying the he wished his father dead - very offensive then and now.

    Mr. Schrute, you can still make amends as Wuap is forgiving, but if you send him a boardmail please use an introduction or greeting as he will not read it otherwise...
